After working on AI-powered tools to enhance X-rays and mammographies, French startup <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gleamer.ai\/\">Gleamer<\/a> now aims to tackle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of starting from scratch, Gleamer has acquired two startups that have already been working on AI-powered MRI analysis: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/pixyl.ai\/\">Pixyl<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/caerusmedical.com\/\">Caerus Medical<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gleamer is part of the second wave of startups trying to improve medical imaging using artificial intelligence. Several tech founders created startups around this topic in 2014 or 2015. While most of them went nowhere, there have been some consolidation in the space. For instance, Zebra Medical Vision and Arterys were both acquired <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/investors.nanox.vision\/news-releases\/news-release-details\/nanox-completes-merger-zebra-medical-vision-ltd-re-brand-nanoxai\">by Nanox<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tempus.com\/resources\/content\/blog\/welcome-arterys-integrating-medical-imaging-insights-to-drive-better-outcomes-for-patients\/?srsltid=AfmBOop-M0lYAOiuKYvPI3-SgtwLu5ayRDQCduXEf_7KsCRTEbwWqiq1\">Tempus<\/a>, respectively. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in 2017, Gleamer has been building an AI assistant for radiologists, a sort of copilot for medical imaging. With Gleamer, radiologists can theoretically improve the diagnostic accuracy when interpreting medical images.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The startup has already persuaded 2,000 institutions across 45 countries to use its software solution. Overall, Gleamer has processed 35 million examinations. The company has received CE and FDA certifications for its bone trauma interpretation product. In Europe, it also offers products specifically focused on chest X-rays, orthopedic and bone age measurements with CE certification.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUnfortunately, the one-size-fits-all <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach to radiology doesn\u2019t work,\u201d Gleamer co-founder and CEO Christian Allouche told TechCrunch. \u201cIt\u2019s very complicated to have a large model that covers all medical imaging and delivers the level of performance expected by doctors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why the company created small internal teams focused on mammographies and CT scans. \u201cThree weeks ago we released our mammography product, which we have been working on for 18 months,\u201d Allouche said. It\u2019s based on a proprietary AI model that has been trained on 1.5 million mammographies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have a partnership with Jean Zay, the French government\u2019s GPU cluster,\u201d Allouche said. The company is also working on CT scans for cancers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what about MRI? \u201cMRI is a different technological space,\u201d Allouche said. \u201cYou have a lot of tasks in MRI. It\u2019s not just detection, you\u2019ve got segmentation, you\u2019ve got detection, you\u2019ve got characterization, classification, multi-sequence imaging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why Gleamer is buying two small startups that have been working on this space for several years to move faster. Gleamer isn\u2019t disclosing the terms of the deals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese two companies will become our two MRI platforms, with the clear ambition of covering all use cases over the next two to three years,\u201d Allouche said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-preventive-medical-imaging\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preventive_medical_imaging\"><\/span>Preventive medical imaging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Gleamer\u2019s models show promising results, they are not yet perfect. For example, with the company\u2019s new mammography model, the startup claims it can detect four out of five cancers. In comparison, a human radiologist without AI assistance typically identifies cancer in three out of five cases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the productivity gains from a tool like Gleamer could radically change medical imaging. A missed tumor is likely to appear in a follow-up exam a few months later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the not-too-distant future, I think we\u2019ll all be getting routine whole body MRIs paid for by our insurance companies \u2014 since they\u2019re not irradiating,\u201d Allouche said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in some cities, there are already too few radiologists to meet the demand for reactive imaging. If the industry shifts toward preventive imaging, AI tools will become indispensable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gleamer\u2019s CEO thinks AI could become an \u201corchestrating and triaging\u201d tool. Most medical imaging examinations are conducted as a way to rule out some diagnoses. \u201cSo, there\u2019s a real need to automate all this with a very solid AI model that has a much higher level of sensitivity than a human,\u201d Allouche said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
